Call a lifeguard, because we are positively drowning in awesome games this week.

Pick of the week: Choosing just one game this week is simply too difficult, so we’re going to give you a bonus. First up, it’s hard to deny the excitement surrounding this week’s double release of Assassin’s Creed titles. We’re looking forward to our journey in the American wilderness during the Revolution. For speed freaks, Criterion is doing amazing work on the Need for Speed series. Buckle up for an open-world masterpiece that should make any fan of Burnout Paradise pretty darn happy.
